Advantages and Disadvantages of Content Analysis
In New York City, police officers assigned to a specialized gang squad pay special attention to graffiti, or tagging.

Plan a formal content analysis of graffiti in your school, community, city, etc. Be sure to distinguish manifest and latent content, units of analysis, and coding rules for your study.
